Healthy Almond-Chocolate Blondies


  • 1 cup almond butter 
  • 2/3 cup honey (clover or orange blossom) 
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk 
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature 
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 
  • 3/4 cup white whole-wheat flour 
  • 3/4 cup ground flaxseed 
  • 3/4 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder 
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 
  • 3/4 cup 70% cocoa mini chocolate chunks 
  • Olive oil spray for the pan 
 Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray an 8-inch square glass baking dish with olive oil. In a large bowl, place almond butter, honey, coconut milk, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk together until well blended and smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, flaxseed, baking powder, and baking soda until well mixed. Add dry ingredients to almond butter mixture and stir just until blended. Then stir in chocolate chunks. Scrape the batter into prepared dish and bake until browned around the edges and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs clinging to it, about 35 minutes. Let cool about 15 minutes before cutting.

Cut into 20 squares and serve. (Store at room temperature an airtight container for up to 3 days.)
